CONSULTATIONS

At the time of booking our team will explain how to prepare for your child’s appointment. To ensure the accuracy of skin testing results we would ask that all antihistamines are stopped for 5 days prior to the appointment.

Please allow up to 60 minutes for your child’s initial and 30 minutes for a follow-up appointment. Some patients may need skin prick testing to help support the diagnosis and results will be available within the time of your appointment.

Dr Blincoe will provide you with a Patient Consultation Letter that will clearly outline your diagnosis, test results, treatment plan and suggest whether follow up appointments are necessary.
